Creating a new sensor view
When you edit a view, you can add or remove gauges, resize them and save that view with a name of your choice. In order to create a new view, you have to edit its content or its name.
Prerequisites
In order to create a new view or editing its content, you must open the TV80 Designer.
There is at least one layout created. In this context, the different combinations of views is called layout.
Context
In a large system with many sensors in simultaneous use, it can be useful to have different ways of having the information presented. According to the operating scenario or your personal preferences, you can choose to edit the content of a view or creating a new one and apply that selection to your current presentation.
In the TV80 program, the presentation of sensor data is organized in views. You can choose to have one, two, three or four views at the same time. If you use less than four views, you can choose their layout according to your operational requirements or personal preferences. Each view contains one or more “gauges”.
